Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to surgical kits, and more particularly to an improved packaging and arrangement of surgical drape kits.
- Surgical drapes are used to cover a patient during a surgical procedure in order to create and maintain a sterile environment about the surgical site.
- Surgical drapes commonly have an opening, also known as a “fenestration,” through which the surgical procedure is performed.
- An adhesive material may be attached to the periphery of the drape material so that the drape can be held in place around the surgical site and so that blood will not pass between the drape and the patient's body. It is often desirable that the surgical drapes are made with an absorbent material to absorb blood and other fluids during surgery.
- Surgical drapes may be part of a surgical kit for a given procedure.
- the surgical kit contains medical instruments, devices, and other materials that will be used in the procedure.
- the medical devices, instruments, and other materials are provided to an end user, such as a surgeon, as prepackaged items. The user will use the contents of the kit as needed during the procedure. Often times, the medical devices and instruments comprising the kit are disposed after the procedure is done. Hence, the devices in the kit are supplied to users sterile and are typically intended for single use only.
- PEG percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy
- PEG is an endoscopic procedure for placing a feeding tube into a stomach of a patient.
- Two techniques for performing the PEG procedure are the push technique and the pull technique. Accordingly, the contents of the PEG kits depend on the PEG technique being used.
- a PEG kit may include: a silicone feeding tube, a wire guide if the push technique is being used, an insertion wire if the pull technique is being used, a syringe, at least one needle (preferably there are two needles—a 22 gauge needle and a 25 gauge needle), a scalpel, a needle cannula, lidocaine hydrochloride (e.g., Xylocaine® 1%), swab sticks (e.g., ChloraPrep® Triple Swabsticks), povidone ointment, water soluble lubricant, a bolster, at least one twist lock, at least one cable tie, scissors, a universal adapter, a bolus adapter, feeding adapters (if the kit is sold internationally), gauze pads, a surgical drape, and a cold snare.
- a silicone feeding tube e.g., a wire guide if the push technique is being used, an insertion wire if the pull technique is being used, a sy

- An example of a PEG kit is Wilson-Cook Medical, Inc.'s PEG-24® kit.
- the PEG-24® kit is packaged in a thermoformed plastic container. A cover is attached to a lid of the thermoformed container using an adhesive material. The components of the PEG-24® kit located inside the thermoformed container are accessed by peeling the cover off of the lid.
- the PEG-24® kit includes a prep tray that is made of a thermoplastic material. Securely fastened to the prep tray are a syringe, a twenty-two gauge needle, a twenty-five gauge needle, a scalpel, a needle cannula, and lidocaine hydrochloride (e.g., Xylocaine® 1%). Loosely placed atop the prep tray are a surgical drape, a wire guide (if the push technique is being used), the insertion wire (if the pull technique is being used), gauze pads, a cold snare, povidone iodine swabs, swab sticks, and water soluble lubricant. Packaged below the prep tray are a bolster kit and a feeding tube. The bolster kit includes a bolster, twist locks, a cable tie, scissors, a universal adapter, and a bolus adapter.
- a syringe Securely fastened to the prep tray are a syring
- a surgical kit should be packaged to minimize the likelihood that the items in the kit become contaminated, lost, or damaged. Additionally, the surgical kit should be arranged such that during the procedure the components of the kit are as accessible as possible to a user needing to obtain them. That is, the end user, such as a surgeon, should be able to identify a desired item, obtain the item, and move the item to the surgical site as quickly and as easily as possible.

- the surgical drape kit 10 of the present invention may be used for surgical procedures that makes use of a surgical kit.
- a surgical procedure that makes use of a surgical kit is a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) procedure.
- PEG percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy
- a gastroscope Before performing the PEG procedure (the pull or the push technique), a gastroscope is inserted through the mouth and down the esophagus to view the stomach. The stomach is insufflated and the mucosa is examined to make sure the mucosa is free of ulceration. The gastroscope is positioned such that a light of the gastroscope trans-illuminates the desired PEG site. After it is determined that the mucosa is healthy, the PEG procedure begins.
- the PEG site is draped using the surgical drape 12 and local anesthetic is injected into the site.
- An incision through the skin and subcutaneous tissue is made using a scalpel 26 .
- swab sticks 56 are applied to the incision site. The swab sticks 56 may be used before or after the surgical drape 12 is placed over the patient.
- a needle 30 and a cannula 38 are inserted through the incision and into the stomach. Once in the stomach, the cannula 38 is left in place and the needle 30 is removed.
- a tip of a wire guide 18 is inserted through the cannula 38 and into the stomach.
- a cold snare 36 is inserted through a channel of the gastroscope.
- the snare 36 grasps an end of the wire guide 18 . While the snare 36 is securely attached to the end of the wire guide 18 , the gastroscope and wire guide 18 are removed from the stomach through the patient's mouth, leaving the wire guide 18 protruding from the mouth and the incision site.
- the feeding tube 20 comprises a first portion having a dilator tip at a first end, and a second portion having an end cap or a “tulip tip” at a second end.
- the feeding tube 20 is lubricated using water soluble lubricant.
- the feeding tube 20 beginning with the dilator tip, is advanced over the wire guide 18 and through the patient's mouth.
- the first portion is pushed through an abdominal wall of the stomach. After the first end passes through the abdominal wall, the wire guide 18 is released and the feeding tube 20 and the wire guide 18 are pulled through the abdominal wall.
- the gastroscope When the tulip tip enters the mouth, the gastroscope is reintroduced into the patient's mouth in order to view the tulip tip as it is advanced through the esophagus and into the stomach. The first portion is pulled through the abdominal incision, and the tulip tip engages with the abdominal wall. Thereafter, the wire guide 18 is removed.
- the bolster 22 is positioned over the feeding tube 20 at the PEG site by placing it over the feeding tube 20 at the first end and sliding it down to the patient's skin. Before sliding the bolster 22 into position, povidone ointment may be applied to bodily tissue at the incision site. After the bolster 22 is engages with the skin surface, an excess portion of the tube 20 is cut using scissors 46 . An “X mark” may denote the location at which to cut off the excess portion of the tube 20 . A twist lock tie 50 or a cable tie 48 is used to secure the bolster 22 to the tube 20 , which prevents future migration of the tube 20 and reduces the need to reposition the tube 20 . The scissors 46 may be used to cut off any excess length of the cable tie 48 . Finally, the universal adapter 24 a , bolus adapter 24 b , or feeding adapters 24 c are attached to the first portion of the feeding tube 20 at the dilator tip.
- the PEG site is draped using the surgical drape 12 and local anesthetic is injected into the site.
- An incision through the skin and subcutaneous tissue is made using a scalpel 26 .
- swab sticks 56 are applied to the incision site. The swab sticks 56 may be used before or after the surgical drape is placed over the patient.
- a needle 30 and cannula 38 are inserted through the incision and into the stomach. Once in the stomach, the cannula 38 is left in place and the needle 30 is removed.
- an insertion wire 18 is inserted through the cannula 38 and into the stomach.
- a cold snare 36 is inserted through a channel of the gastroscope and grasps a looped end of the insertion wire 18 .
- Biopsy forceps may be used instead of the cold snare 36 . While the cold snare 36 or the biopsy forceps is securely attached to the looped end of the insertion wire 18 , the gastroscope and insertion wire 18 are removed from the stomach through the patient's mouth, leaving the looped end of the insertion wire 18 protruding from the mouth and a second end of the insertion wire 18 protruding from the incision site.
- the feeding tube 20 is inserted into the patient.
- a knotless connection is formed between the looped end of the insertion wire 18 protruding from the patient's mouth and a looped end of a wire at the first end of the feeding tube 20 .
- the looped end of the insertion wire 18 is fed through the looped wire of the feeding tube 20 , and the tulip tip is then placed through the looped end of the insertion wire 18 .
- the feeding tube 20 is pulled through the looped end of the insertion wire 18 .
- a knotless connection between the insertion wire 18 and the wire of the feeding tube 20 is formed by pulling the looped ends of the wires in opposite directions.
- the feeding tube 20 Before the feeding tube 20 is inserted into the patient, the feeding tube 20 is lubricated using the water soluble lubricant. After being lubricated, the feeding tube 20 , beginning with the dilator tip, is advanced through the patient's mouth by pulling on the second end of the insertion wire 18 that is protruding from the incision site. The insertion wire 18 is pulled until the first portion protrudes through the abdominal wall.
- the gastroscope When the tulip tip enters the mouth, the gastroscope is reintroduced into the patient's mouth in order to view the tulip tip as it is advanced through the esophagus and into the stomach. The first portion is pulled through the abdominal incision, and the tulip tip is brought in contact with the abdominal wall. Thereafter, the insertion wire 18 is removed.
- a bolster 22 is positioned over the feeding tube 20 at the PEG site by placing the bolster 22 over the looped wire of the feeding tube 20 at the first end and sliding the bolster 22 down the feeding tube 20 to the patient's skin.
- povidone ointment may be applied to bodily tissue at the incision site.
- an excess portion of the tube may be cut using scissors 46 .
- An “X mark” may denote the place at which to cut off the excess portion of the tube 20 .
- a twist lock tie 50 or a cable tie 48 may be used to secure the bolster 22 to the tube 20 , which prevents future migration of the tube 20 and reduces the need to reposition the tube 20 .
- the scissors 46 may be used to cut off any excess length of the cable tie 48 . Thereafter, a universal adapter 24 a , a bolus adapter 24 b , or feeding adapters 24 c are attached to the first portion of the feeding tube 20 at the dilator tip.
- the PEG procedure may be divided into the following steps: making an incision, inserting a wire into the patient for enabling insertion of a feeding tube into the patient, inserting the feeding tube into the patient, applying a bolster to the feeding tube, and attaching an adapter to the feeding tube.
- An arrangement of the plurality of components 18 - 54 inside the containers 14 may be based on these steps of the PEG procedure.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 61/329,192, entitled “Surgical Drape Kit,” filed Apr. 29, 2010, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates generally to surgical kits, and more particularly to an improved packaging and arrangement of surgical drape kits.
- Surgical drapes are used to cover a patient during a surgical procedure in order to create and maintain a sterile environment about the surgical site. Surgical drapes commonly have an opening, also known as a “fenestration,” through which the surgical procedure is performed. An adhesive material may be attached to the periphery of the drape material so that the drape can be held in place around the surgical site and so that blood will not pass between the drape and the patient's body. It is often desirable that the surgical drapes are made with an absorbent material to absorb blood and other fluids during surgery.
- Surgical drapes may be part of a surgical kit for a given procedure. The surgical kit contains medical instruments, devices, and other materials that will be used in the procedure. As a surgical kit, the medical devices, instruments, and other materials are provided to an end user, such as a surgeon, as prepackaged items. The user will use the contents of the kit as needed during the procedure. Often times, the medical devices and instruments comprising the kit are disposed after the procedure is done. Hence, the devices in the kit are supplied to users sterile and are typically intended for single use only.
- An example of a procedure that makes use of a surgical kit is percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). PEG is an endoscopic procedure for placing a feeding tube into a stomach of a patient. Two techniques for performing the PEG procedure are the push technique and the pull technique. Accordingly, the contents of the PEG kits depend on the PEG technique being used.
- A PEG kit may include: a silicone feeding tube, a wire guide if the push technique is being used, an insertion wire if the pull technique is being used, a syringe, at least one needle (preferably there are two needles—a 22 gauge needle and a 25 gauge needle), a scalpel, a needle cannula, lidocaine hydrochloride (e.g., Xylocaine® 1%), swab sticks (e.g., ChloraPrep® Triple Swabsticks), povidone ointment, water soluble lubricant, a bolster, at least one twist lock, at least one cable tie, scissors, a universal adapter, a bolus adapter, feeding adapters (if the kit is sold internationally), gauze pads, a surgical drape, and a cold snare.
- The medical devices and instruments used in the PEG procedure may be received for use in the form of a PEG kit. An example of a PEG kit is Wilson-Cook Medical, Inc.'s PEG-24® kit. The PEG-24® kit is packaged in a thermoformed plastic container. A cover is attached to a lid of the thermoformed container using an adhesive material. The components of the PEG-24® kit located inside the thermoformed container are accessed by peeling the cover off of the lid.
- The PEG-24® kit includes a prep tray that is made of a thermoplastic material. Securely fastened to the prep tray are a syringe, a twenty-two gauge needle, a twenty-five gauge needle, a scalpel, a needle cannula, and lidocaine hydrochloride (e.g., Xylocaine® 1%). Loosely placed atop the prep tray are a surgical drape, a wire guide (if the push technique is being used), the insertion wire (if the pull technique is being used), gauze pads, a cold snare, povidone iodine swabs, swab sticks, and water soluble lubricant. Packaged below the prep tray are a bolster kit and a feeding tube. The bolster kit includes a bolster, twist locks, a cable tie, scissors, a universal adapter, and a bolus adapter.
- Generally, a surgical kit should be packaged to minimize the likelihood that the items in the kit become contaminated, lost, or damaged. Additionally, the surgical kit should be arranged such that during the procedure the components of the kit are as accessible as possible to a user needing to obtain them. That is, the end user, such as a surgeon, should be able to identify a desired item, obtain the item, and move the item to the surgical site as quickly and as easily as possible.
- The present invention provides an improved packaging and arrangement of surgical kits having a surgical drape that are used to perform a surgical procedure on a patient. The invention is directed to a surgical drape kit that comprises a surgical drape having a fenestration site, a plurality of containers attached to the surgical drape, and a plurality of components used to perform the surgical procedure, wherein each of the containers includes at least one of the components disposed therein, wherein the plurality of components disposed inside each of the containers is determined by sequential steps of the surgical procedure, and wherein the containers are attached to the surgical drape around a perimeter of the fenestration site.
- One surgical procedure that may use a surgical kit having a surgical drape is percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The PEG procedure may be divided into individual steps, including making an incision, inserting a wire into the patient for enabling insertion of a feeding tube into the patient, inserting the feeding tube into the patient, applying a bolster to the feeding tube, and attaching an adapter to the feeding tube. The determination for disposing the plurality of components inside the containers is based on these steps for performing the PEG procedure.
- In a preferred embodiment, the surgical drape kit comprises four containers. A first container includes components that relate to the step of making an incision disposed therein. A second container includes components that relate to the step of inserting a wire for enabling insertion of a feeding tube disposed therein. A third container includes components that relate to the step of inserting the feeding tube disposed therein. A fourth container includes components that relate to the step of applying a bolster to the feeding tube disposed therein, and components that relate to the step of attaching an adapter to the feeding tube disposed therein.
- The components that relate to the step of making an incision include a scalpel, and may further include a syringe, a twenty-two gauge needle, and twenty-five gauge needle, and a container of lidocaine hydrochloride. The components that relate to the step of inserting a wire to enable insertion of a feeding tube include a wire guide when a push technique is used to perform the PEG procedure, or an insertion wire having a looped end when a pull technique is used to perform the PEG procedure, and may further include a cold snare, and a needle cannula. The components that relate to the step of inserting the feeding tube include the feeding tube, and may further include at least one gauze pad, and at least one package of water soluble lubricant. The components that relate to applying a bolster to the feeding tube include a bolster, and may further include at least one package of povidone-iodine ointment. The components that relate to attaching an adapter to the feeding tube include at least one of a universal adapter and a bolus adapter, and may further include forceps, scissors, at least one cable tie, at least one twist lock tie, and a feeding tube clamp.

FIG. 8 is a top view of a surgical drape kit, having labels that describe the part of the procedure for which the components inside a particular container will be used, the labels being attached to the surgical drape near the container with which they are associated. - The present invention is directed to a
surgical drape kit 10 comprising asurgical drape 12, a plurality ofcontainers 14 attached to thesurgical drape 12, and a plurality of components 18-54 used to perform the surgical procedure, wherein each of thecontainers 14 includes at least one of the components 18-54 disposed therein, wherein the components 18-54 disposed inside each of thecontainers 14 is determined by sequential steps of the surgical procedure, and wherein thecontainers 14 are attached to thesurgical drape 12 around aperimeter 80 of afenestration site 82 of thesurgical drape 12. - The
surgical drape kit 10 of the present invention may be used for surgical procedures that makes use of a surgical kit. One example of a surgical procedure that makes use of a surgical kit is a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) procedure. - Before performing the PEG procedure (the pull or the push technique), a gastroscope is inserted through the mouth and down the esophagus to view the stomach. The stomach is insufflated and the mucosa is examined to make sure the mucosa is free of ulceration. The gastroscope is positioned such that a light of the gastroscope trans-illuminates the desired PEG site. After it is determined that the mucosa is healthy, the PEG procedure begins.
- When performing the PEG procedure using the push technique, the PEG site is draped using the
surgical drape 12 and local anesthetic is injected into the site. An incision through the skin and subcutaneous tissue is made using ascalpel 26. Prior to making the incision, swab sticks 56 are applied to the incision site. The swab sticks 56 may be used before or after thesurgical drape 12 is placed over the patient. - After the incision is made, and while the stomach is insufflated, a needle 30 and a
cannula 38 are inserted through the incision and into the stomach. Once in the stomach, thecannula 38 is left in place and the needle 30 is removed. - After removing the needle 30, a tip of a
wire guide 18 is inserted through thecannula 38 and into the stomach. - Next, a
cold snare 36 is inserted through a channel of the gastroscope. When thecold snare 36 reaches the inside of the stomach, thesnare 36 grasps an end of thewire guide 18. While thesnare 36 is securely attached to the end of thewire guide 18, the gastroscope and wire guide 18 are removed from the stomach through the patient's mouth, leaving thewire guide 18 protruding from the mouth and the incision site. - Then, a feeding
tube 20 is inserted into the patient. The feedingtube 20 comprises a first portion having a dilator tip at a first end, and a second portion having an end cap or a “tulip tip” at a second end. Before being inserted into the patient, the feedingtube 20 is lubricated using water soluble lubricant. After thetube 20 is lubricated, the feedingtube 20, beginning with the dilator tip, is advanced over thewire guide 18 and through the patient's mouth. When the second end meets thecannula 38 in the stomach, the first portion is pushed through an abdominal wall of the stomach. After the first end passes through the abdominal wall, thewire guide 18 is released and the feedingtube 20 and thewire guide 18 are pulled through the abdominal wall. - When the tulip tip enters the mouth, the gastroscope is reintroduced into the patient's mouth in order to view the tulip tip as it is advanced through the esophagus and into the stomach. The first portion is pulled through the abdominal incision, and the tulip tip engages with the abdominal wall. Thereafter, the
wire guide 18 is removed. - Next, the bolster 22 is positioned over the feeding
tube 20 at the PEG site by placing it over the feedingtube 20 at the first end and sliding it down to the patient's skin. Before sliding the bolster 22 into position, povidone ointment may be applied to bodily tissue at the incision site. After the bolster 22 is engages with the skin surface, an excess portion of thetube 20 is cut usingscissors 46. An “X mark” may denote the location at which to cut off the excess portion of thetube 20. Atwist lock tie 50 or acable tie 48 is used to secure the bolster 22 to thetube 20, which prevents future migration of thetube 20 and reduces the need to reposition thetube 20. Thescissors 46 may be used to cut off any excess length of thecable tie 48. Finally, theuniversal adapter 24 a,bolus adapter 24 b, or feeding adapters 24 c are attached to the first portion of the feedingtube 20 at the dilator tip. - Alternatively, when using the pull technique to perform the PEG procedure, the PEG site is draped using the
surgical drape 12 and local anesthetic is injected into the site. An incision through the skin and subcutaneous tissue is made using ascalpel 26. Prior to making the incision, swab sticks 56 are applied to the incision site. The swab sticks 56 may be used before or after the surgical drape is placed over the patient. - After the incision is made, and while the stomach is insufflated, a needle 30 and
cannula 38 are inserted through the incision and into the stomach. Once in the stomach, thecannula 38 is left in place and the needle 30 is removed. - After removing the needle 30, an
insertion wire 18 is inserted through thecannula 38 and into the stomach. - Next, a
cold snare 36 is inserted through a channel of the gastroscope and grasps a looped end of theinsertion wire 18. Biopsy forceps may be used instead of thecold snare 36. While thecold snare 36 or the biopsy forceps is securely attached to the looped end of theinsertion wire 18, the gastroscope andinsertion wire 18 are removed from the stomach through the patient's mouth, leaving the looped end of theinsertion wire 18 protruding from the mouth and a second end of theinsertion wire 18 protruding from the incision site. - Next, the feeding
tube 20 is inserted into the patient. In order to insert the feedingtube 22 using the pull technique, a knotless connection is formed between the looped end of theinsertion wire 18 protruding from the patient's mouth and a looped end of a wire at the first end of the feedingtube 20. To make the knotless connection, the looped end of theinsertion wire 18 is fed through the looped wire of the feedingtube 20, and the tulip tip is then placed through the looped end of theinsertion wire 18. Thereafter, the feedingtube 20 is pulled through the looped end of theinsertion wire 18. A knotless connection between theinsertion wire 18 and the wire of the feedingtube 20 is formed by pulling the looped ends of the wires in opposite directions. - Before the feeding
tube 20 is inserted into the patient, the feedingtube 20 is lubricated using the water soluble lubricant. After being lubricated, the feedingtube 20, beginning with the dilator tip, is advanced through the patient's mouth by pulling on the second end of theinsertion wire 18 that is protruding from the incision site. Theinsertion wire 18 is pulled until the first portion protrudes through the abdominal wall. - When the tulip tip enters the mouth, the gastroscope is reintroduced into the patient's mouth in order to view the tulip tip as it is advanced through the esophagus and into the stomach. The first portion is pulled through the abdominal incision, and the tulip tip is brought in contact with the abdominal wall. Thereafter, the
insertion wire 18 is removed. - Next, a bolster 22 is positioned over the feeding
tube 20 at the PEG site by placing the bolster 22 over the looped wire of the feedingtube 20 at the first end and sliding the bolster 22 down the feedingtube 20 to the patient's skin. Before sliding the bolster into position, povidone ointment may be applied to bodily tissue at the incision site. After the bolster 22 engages with the skin surface, an excess portion of the tube may be cut usingscissors 46. An “X mark” may denote the place at which to cut off the excess portion of thetube 20. Atwist lock tie 50 or acable tie 48 may be used to secure the bolster 22 to thetube 20, which prevents future migration of thetube 20 and reduces the need to reposition thetube 20. Thescissors 46 may be used to cut off any excess length of thecable tie 48. Thereafter, auniversal adapter 24 a, abolus adapter 24 b, or feeding adapters 24 c are attached to the first portion of the feedingtube 20 at the dilator tip. - Based on the above description, the PEG procedure may be divided into the following steps: making an incision, inserting a wire into the patient for enabling insertion of a feeding tube into the patient, inserting the feeding tube into the patient, applying a bolster to the feeding tube, and attaching an adapter to the feeding tube. An arrangement of the plurality of components 18-54 inside the
containers 14 may be based on these steps of the PEG procedure. -

Attaching the containers around theperimeter 80 of thefenestration site 82 in such a manner enables the components 18-54 to be obtained and moved to thefenestration site 82 quickly and easily. - The
containers 14 may be sequentially attached to thesurgical drape 12 around theperimeter 80 of thefenestration site 82. For example, as shown inFIG. 1 , thecontainers 14 may be sequentially attached around thefenestration site 82 in a clockwise configuration. Using the position of thefirst container 14 a as a position of reference, thefirst container 14 a may be attached to the right of thefenestration site 82, thesecond container 14 b may be attached below thefenestration site 82, thethird container 14 c may be attached to the left of thefenestration site 82, and thefourth container 14 d may be attached above thefenestration site 82. - Alternatively, the
containers 14 may be sequentially attached to thesurgical drape 12 around thefenestration site 82 in a counter-clockwise configuration. For example, using the position of thefirst container 14 a as a position of reference, thefirst container 14 a may be attached to the right of thefenestration site 82, thesecond container 14 b may be attached above thefenestration site 82, thethird container 14 c may be attached to the left of thefenestration site 82, and thefourth container 14 d may be attached below thefenestration site 82. - In another alternative embodiment, the
containers 14 may be non-sequentially attached to thesurgical drape 12 around thefenestration site 82. For example, using the position of thefirst container 14 a as a reference position, thefirst container 14 a may be attached to the left of thefenestration site 82, thesecond container 14 b may be attached to the right of thefenestration site 82, thethird container 14 c may be attached above thefenestration site 82, and thefourth container 14 d may be attached below thefenestration site 82. - The
containers 14 may be attached to the surgical drape using double-sided tape. An example of double-sided tape that may be used is double coated medical tape having an acrylate adhesive. Alternatively, a plurality of pieces of hook-and-loop fastener material, such as pieces of Velcro®, may be affixed to thesurgical drape 12 around theperimeter 80 of thefenestration site 82, and similarly, pieces of hook-and-loop fastener material may be affixed to each of thecontainers 14. Each of thecontainers 14 may be attached to thesurgical drape 12 by engaging the hook-and-loop fastener material affixed to each of thecontainers 14 with the pieces of hook-and-loop fastener material attached to thesurgical drape 12. - In the preferred embodiment, the
containers 14 may be bags that are transparent and made of plastic. As shown inFIG. 6 , eachbag 14 may comprise aperforation 84. Theperforation 84 of thebag 14 allows for the components 18-54 to be securely contained within thebag 14 prior to the components 18-54 needing to be used. In addition, theperforation 84 allows for easy creation of an opening in the bag in order to easily access the components 18-54 within thebags 14. - Alternatively, the
containers 14 may be resealable bags that comprise asealing mechanism 86 which allows for thebags 14 to be opened to obtain a component 18-54, and then to be resealed. For example, as shown inFIG. 7 , the sealing mechanism may be a zipper used in zipper storage bags. A transparentplastic bag 14 having aperforation 84, and a transparent plastic bag having asealing mechanism 86 are two examples of a container that may be attached to thesurgical drape kit 10 to contain the components 18-54 of the PEG procedure, and one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that other types of similarly operable containers may be used in replace of or in combination with abag 14 having aperforation 84, and/or abag 14 having asealing mechanism 86. - The
surgical drape kit 10 further comprises labels 88 to indicate which components 18-54 are in whichcontainer 14. As shown inFIG. 1 , the labels 88 may be attached to thecontainers 14. The number of labels 88 corresponds to the numbers ofcontainers 14. Alternatively, as shown inFIG. 8 , the labels 88 are attached to thesurgical drape 12 near thecontainers 14. - In order to indicate which components 18-54 are in which
container 14, the labels 88 may comprise numbers. For example, in the preferred embodiment as shown inFIG. 1 , because there are fourcontainers 14, afirst label 88 a is numbered one, asecond label 88 b is numbered two, athird label 88 c is numbered three, and afourth label 88 d is numbered four. - Alternatively, the labels 88 may comprise words or symbols that indicate the part of the procedure for which the components inside a particular container will be used. For example, as shown in
FIG. 8 , the components used to make the incision may be placed in thefirst container 14 a, and afirst label 88 a may be labeled: “Incision.” Likewise, the components used to insert thewire 18 into the patient for enabling insertion of the feedingtube 20 into the patient may be placed in thesecond container 14 b, and asecond label 88 b may be labeled “Wire Guide” or “Insertion Wire.” The components used to insert the feedingtube 20 into the patient may be placed in thethird container 14 c, and athird label 88 c may be labeled “Feeding Tube.” The components used to apply the bolster 22 to the feedingtube 20 and the components used to attach an adapter 24 to the feedingtube 20 may be placed in thefourth container 14 d, and afourth label 88 d may be labeled “Bolster/Adapter.” - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thefenestration site 82 of thesurgical drape 12 may be a circular opening of thesurgical drape 12 that allows access to the patient in order for the procedure to be performed. An adhesive coating may be applied to an underside of the drape, and around the perimeter of thefenestration site 82, in order to secure thedrape 12 to the patient during the PEG procedure. Additionally, thedrape 12 may be made of an absorbent material in order to absorb blood and other fluids during surgery. - The
surgical drape kit 10 may be packaged using a pouch-type packaging. The pouch may be made of a variety of materials as understood by one having ordinary skill in the art. Such materials may include, but are not limited to, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polyolefin, polypropylene, polyester, plastic, or paper. - When packaging the
surgical drape kit 10, thesurgical drape kit 10 may be folded. After thesurgical drape kit 10 is folded, but before the foldedsurgical drape kit 10 is placed inside the packaging, a package of swab sticks 56 may be attached to a side of the foldedsurgical drape 12. When a user of thesurgical drape kit 10 receives the packagedsurgical drape kit 10 and removes thesurgical drape kit 10 from the pouch, the user may detach the package of swab sticks 56 from thesurgical drape 12 before unfolding the packagedsurgical drape kit 10. Alternatively, the package of swab sticks 56 may be attached to thesurgical drape 12 before thesurgical drape kit 10 is folded. When a user of thesurgical drape kit 10 removes thesurgical drape kit 10 from the pouch, the user may unfold thesurgical drape kit 10 and place thesurgical drape 12 over the patient before detaching the package of swab sticks 56 from thesurgical drape 12. - The arrangement of the PEG procedure components 18-54 inside the
containers 14 may be determined prior to thesurgical drape kit 10 being packaged and sent to an end user who performs the PEG procedure. Also, prior to thesurgical drape kit 10 being packaged and sent to the end user, thecontainers 14 are attached to thesurgical drape 12. Thus, when the end user receives the packagedsurgical drape kit 10, the end user may remove from the package thesurgical drape 12 having thecontainers 14 attached to thedrape 12, with the components 18-54 being disposed inside thecontainers 14 according to the determined arrangement. - The foregoing description of various embodiments of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise embodiments disclosed. Numerous modifications or variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The embodiments discussed were chosen and described to provide the best illustration of the principles of the invention and its practical application to thereby enable one of ordinary skill in the art to utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. All such modifications and variations are within the scope of the invention as determined by the appended claims when interpreted in accordance with the breadth to which they are fairly, legally, and equitably entitled.
